Inrnovnn Horse-POWER.

`roV ALL wHoM 1r MAY eoNonnN:

Be it knpwn that I, GEOBGEOEELLEIN, of theto'wn of Utica,.county of Winona, and Statcof Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Horse-Powers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will'enable those skilled in the art to make-and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of 'this specification, in which- Figure l'is a longitudinal side view,

Figure 2 a cross sectional view, and

Figure 3 a longitudinal sectional view.

Similar letters of reference in each of the figures indicate vcorresponding parts.

The object of my invention is to-p'r'oduee ahorse-powcr' which can be worked on the wheels which are used toplac'e; alse so arranged that power can be takcn'from both sides and-both enbds at thc same time, or from only one-of them, as desired.

Arthle frameV of theworking-gear, supported on wheels; the wheels supporting the frameA; C, theV master-wheel; D, compound bevel and square-toothed wheel, by which the tumbling-rod shafts are operated, (there are two of these'wheels,one on each side of the power E E, pinions gearing into thc master-wheel; F F, shafts `o`n which'are pinions E ;4- G G, bcvel-'wheelsen the inner ends of shafts F F; H, cross-shaft, on the ends of which are wheels D; I I, bevel-pinions o n shaft H,vgearing into wheels G G; K, tumbling-rod shaft,vacross under frame A; 'L L, pinions, one on each end of shaft K, meshing into wheels D D M, tumbling-rod shaft, under frame A', supported by hangers; N, pinion onhthe outer end of shaft M, m eshing into pinion L o'n shaft K; O, side tumbling-rod shaft, (there are two of these, oneon each side-of the power g) P, bevel-pinion on shaft O, meshinginto the` bevel-gear on wheel Dgj'Q, supporting-frame for the master-wheel C; R, st'ep'in the` supporting-frame Q .S, arms of the master-wheel C; T, centre-shaft `of mastcr-wheel C, fitting into step R; U, ,draug'htlevers to the master-wheel: V, rods and chains conneetiug'thc outer ends of draught-levers U; W, toothed wheels, shafts, and dogs with which, with a wrench, to tighten chains V; X, side-braces with'which to secure-freine A'to the ground; Y Y, end-braces, to lieep'fra-me A from moving endways when`the power is in operation; Z, clrivers seat. a, section of tumbling-rod; b b, braces on the frame A.; cc, hollow rollers, working on shafts screwed into braces b These rollers hold the master-wheel from rising out of gear.

Operation: The power being hauled to the spotwhere wantedrthe side-b'racesX are secured to the ground,

and braces Y Y put in place, one end in the staple in the frameA, andthe other end'in the ground. This will keep the power steady in place. '.llhen connect the machine or machines to the power by the tumbling-rods,

hitch .the horses to the draught-levers and put them in motion. This willrevolve master-wheel C, which, gearing into pinions E E, revolves the shaft F, putting wheels G G in motion, which, gearing into pinions I-I, revolve shaft H and wheels D, which revolve the tumbling-rod shafts, and by-this means machinery is operated; One of the pinions 'Ion shaft H is loose, and revolves on the-shaft; the other is keyed to the shaft. Should the fast pinions I getbreken, then lthe other pinion I can be keyed on the shaft, and the power be ready for use without further repairs. The pinions on the tumbling-rod shafts can, anyor all hf them, be thrown out of gear, 4so that one alone, or any number of them, can be worked at the same time, the advantage being that power can be taken from either side or from either end of the power. The pinions on thc tumbling-rod shafts are held securely by pins, which pins are used to hold the pinions in place when thrown out of gear.

When done-using the power, and desiring to move it, the braces X are unloosed from the ground, and hitched up to the sides of the power, and the braces Y Y removed and placed on the frame A then hitch to the tongue of the frame A, and haul it to any place desired. 'lhc power being all the time on the wheels with which it is moved from place to place, it requiresibut a few minutes zo have lit ready to use, or to disengage it for removal,

l What I claim as my invention, Aand desire to secure by'Letters Patent, is-

1. A horse-power, arranged on wheels, substantially as described. 2. Master-wheelzC, supporting-frame Q, step R, arms S, centre-shaft T, and draghtdevers U, in combination, substantially as described.

3. Draught-levers U, chains V, toothed wheels, shafts, and dogs, W; in combination with master-wheel C, substantially as described.

4. .Tumbling-rod shafts M, and K, arranged and combined substantially as described. 5. Wheels D and G and master-wheel C, with their connections, arranged and combined substantially as described.

6. Braces X and Y, in combination with frame A, substantially as and for the purpose described.
